Great Shot! from me tooo. The dark background really makes it stand out. Wonder how it knew the bike was not going to move :) maybe the rust on the rim. It's interesting how it grabbed the rib on the tire to hang on. No Cicada's out here, guess they can't take the heat.. Congratulations Janice on winning the photo contest with this photo at the Amateur Photography Group.

I agree, great shot! It looks like a scene from a science fiction movie.

Great shot! I have never seen them go through that step. I just find the empty shells.
